Part of our C.A.R.E Immunity Protocol

Cleanse | Activate | Regenerate | Energise

OptimaCARE is a premium 3-stage, 1-month programme that targets the equine gut, liver, kidneys, and circulatory systems, to rejuvenate and restore metabolic balance.

If your horse just feels a bit… overburdened – duller than usual, coat not shifting properly, digestion never quite settling, or coming out of winter looking puffy and sluggish – that’s usually when we start talking about OptimaCARE.

It’s our structured three-stage reset - not a blast-everything detox. More of a clear-the-decks and let the body find its natural rhythm again approach.

It's structured to follow the body's natural sequence:
  1. Gut first - because if the gut’s unstable, nothing downstream works properly
  2. Then the filtration organs – liver and kidneys for effective toxin elimination
  3. Finally, the circulatory systems - blood and lymph.

Fed over one month – ten days per stage – we suggest feeding once or twice a year when a horse feels metabolically stuck or a bit flat.


"You have given me my horse back - bright eyes, glossy coat, and a spring in her step!" Angela H.

Important Note

If your horse is sore, inflamed, or coming out of something more complex, we’d normally look at OptimaPLUS instead, w hich addresses discomfort, reset, and nutritional balance in one structured plan.

For the latest detoxification research and insights, see our main A-Z Condition/Detoxification page in the Info Centre above.



Overview

Fed over 1-month, with each 'stage' fed over 10-days, the synergistic combination of each stage of our OptimaCARE formula is formulated to bring a healthy balance back into the whole inner-engine of the horse, specifically the gut and immune system, filtration detoxification organs (lymph nodes, liver and kidneys), and the two circulatory systems (lymph and blood).

Once the course is finished, allow a week for the system to realign, function and strengthen by itself. This will also give you the chance to assess how your horse is, so that any symptoms they may then present with can be addressed directly instead of having to struggle through an overburdened system.


Is OptimaCARE Right for Your Horse?

OptimaCARE is your “clear the decks and let the body breathe again” programme - the once-or-twice-yearly inner reset that helps your horse feel lighter, brighter, cleaner, and more themselves.

OptimaCARE is a good fit if your horse:

✔ feels dull, flat, or isn't firing on all cylinders
✔ has a coat that's lost it lustre, or slow to shift in spring
✔ has had medication, stress, or illness
✔ has digestive issues, gassiness, or inconsistent droppings that never fully resolve
✔ is coming out of winter feeling puffy or sluggish
✔ is in recovery after laminitis and you want to support inner housekeeping
✔ needs a structured, whole-system tidy-up rather than another symptom-based product

OptimaCARE gives the body order and sequence - gut first, then the filtration engines, then the flow systems - so the whole inner engine can find its rhythm again.

Which blend – OptimaCARE or OptimaPLUS?

Each supports detoxification, but at very different intensities and stages:

→ OptimaCARE

Structured | Regenerative | 3-stage sequence

Best for horses who are ready for a coordinated gut–organ–circulation reset.

→ OptimaPLUS

Reset + Comfort + Nutritional balance

For sensitive, complex, sore, or post-flare horses who need detox plus a layer of comfort and nutritional buffering built in.

In short?

  • If your horse is coping but feels overburdened or metabolically stuck → OptimaCARE.
  • If your horse is struggling, sore, inflamed, or coming out of a tricky patch → OptimaPLUS.

Energetic Architecture - the synergy behind the blend

Energetic architecture is simply how a blend is built to work with the body in sequence.

OptimaCARE isn’t a random detox - it follows the natural order the body already uses:

  1. First, steady the gut.
  2. Then support the processing / filtration /elimination organs.
  3. Finally, re-establish flow and circulation.

It’s not about blasting toxins out - it’s about restoring rhythm to the inner engine.

Functional categories

🌿 Stage 1 – gut first

If the gut is unstable, nothing downstream works properly. Simple as that.

  1. Microbial balance & terrain reset - Andrographis, Berberis, Oregano, Pau d’Arco
    These help tidy up the internal ecosystem - especially when things feel gassy, irritated, or a bit “off.”
  2. Mucosal strength & binding support - Plantago, Filipendula, Comfrey
    This is your cushioning and binding layer. Helping the gut lining cope while things shift.
  3. Immune & systemic tone - Astragalus, Smilax
    Keeps the immune response steady while the terrain settles.

🌿 Stage 2 –filtration organs

Once the gut is calmer, we structurally support the organs that actually process metabolic load - where OptimaCARE earns its keep.

  1. Hepatic processing & enzyme activity - Milk Thistle, Dandelion root, Burdock
    The liver is your horse’s chemical plant - if it’s overburdened, everything backs up.
  2. Renal & fluid balance support - Celery seed, Nettle
    Encourages smooth fluid handling while metabolic by-products are being processed.
  3. Immune oversight & tissue oxygenation - E chinacea, Ginkgo, Rosehip
    Keeps circulation and immune rhythm steady while filtration organs are working.

🌿 Stage 3 – circulatory systems

Now that the load has been processed, we clean up flow - because stagnant systems relapse.

  1. Lymphatic movement & tissue flow - Cleavers, Calendula, Burdock
    Keeps things moving through tissues rather than letting residues linger.
  2. Circulatory oxygenation & vitality - Ginkgo, Rosehip, Nettle
    Supports blood flow, connective tissue tone, and post-detox brightness.
  3. Adaptogenic steadiness - Astragalus

OptimaCARE is about clearing the decks so the body can do what it was designed to do.

Gut → Filtration → Flow - just structured, seasonal reset work.



Clinical Considerations / Veterinary Reference

Advisories

  • Feed as a minimum 1-month course.
  • Ensure quality stemmy hay is available 24/7 to provide sufficient cellulose fibre, to help restore the hindgut microbiome.
  • Caution with steroid, immune-suppressant, or anticoagulant medications - seek veterinary guidance for compatibility.
  • A short-term “Herxheimer Reaction” (temporary re-toxification) may occur as toxins are eliminated - reduce dose or pause briefly if symptoms appear.

Contraindications

  • Not suitable for pregnant or nursing mares due to strong detoxifying botanicals.
  • Do not feed during acute conditions - always stabilise first (e.g. laminitis recovery, post-medication, or seasonal transition).
  • Use caution with horses prone to dehydration or electrolyte imbalance; ensure constant access to water and salt.
